Now in her 10th season at the helm of the UMass Boston
volleyball program, co-head coach Terry Condon has turned the
Beacons into one of the most recognizable programs in Division III
women’s volleyball today.

During her nine seasons in Boston, Condon has been on a mission
to make UMass the premiere place to play collegiate
volleyball. For her tireless efforts and work ethic UMass has
seen unprecedented success, including five straight Little East
Conference regular season and tournament championships, as well as
three NCAA Division III Regional crowns, which the Beacons brought
home in 2010, 2012, and 2013.

As the new standard of volleyball in New England, Condon has
pushed her athletes to new levels earning them multiple
all-conference, region, and American honors. During the Condon era,
a total of three players have been named AVCA All-Americans.
Another seven have earned AVCA/NEWVA All-Region honors, including
two Rookies of the Year. In the Little East Conference 14
players have been named to either the First or Second Team
respectively, and since 2006, UMass has had six different players
nab Rookie of the Year while four others have been named Players of
the Year. Condon has also been named conference Coach of the
Year twice, and has been selected as teh top coach in the region
twice.

Since her arrival in 2005, Condon has set a new standard for the
Beacons every single season. Condon led UMass to their highest
national ranking ever on the AVCA Top-25 Coaches Poll
16th. The Beacons also remained in the top-25 for
the entire 2011 season, which was also a first in the
program’s history.

In 2013, Condon led a team that consisted of nine freshmen back
to the NCAA Division III National Championship tournament.
After overcoming some early growing pains the Beacons rolled
to their fifth straight conference title and third regional crown.
Freshman libero Elizabeth Glavan stepped to the forefront of
Condon's young squad and earned AVCA All-Region honors and was
named the NCAA Regional Tournament Most Valuable Player.

The 2012 season may have been the most impressive coaching job
in Condon’s tenure; as the Beacons integrated seven new
members and played their entire schedule on the road, en route to
their fourth consecutive Little East Championship. After playing
one of the most challenging non-conference schedules in the
country, the Beacons swept their way through the Little East
Conference Tournament. They would then shock the volleyball
world, when the knocked off higher seeded MIT, host Connecticut
College and second-seeded Bowdoin College to win the NCAA New
England Regional title.

Over the last six seasons, the Beacons have finished with
20-wins or more, including a program best 30 which they achieved in
2009 and 2010. Since the 2008 season, UMass has posted a
combined 157 victories. To date Condon currently owns a
career coaching mark of 389-207 for a .652 winning percentage.

Condon has an outstanding volleyball coaching and playing
background and is a legendary figure within college and United
States volleyball circles. The former UCLA standout is considered
one of the greatest players to ever step on the floor for the
Bruins, having been named to the UCLA Athletic Hall of Fame in 1992
as well as being honored as one of the 25 greatest players in UCLA
history. Her number 34 was retired by the Bruins, as well. She
enjoyed a tremendous career with UCLA, helping it to an 89-12
record, which included a pair of national titles in 1974 and 1975
and a national runner-up placing in 1976.

Condon's amazing accomplishments were not limited to the
collegiate level, however, as she made her mark on the world stage
as well, playing for the United States Volleyball National team
throughout the 1970s. She was named a seven-time First Team
All-American, two-time Second Team All-American and was the Player
of the Year in 1971. Condon enjoyed tremendous success with her
teams, racking up three USA Open National Championships and was a
five-time member of the USA Women's National team, including the
1970 World Championship team and the Pan American Games teams of
1971 and 1975. Her accomplishments were recognized by her selection
to the USA Volleyball 75th Anniversary Women's All- Era Team
(1949-77) and her honor as an All-Time Great Female Player by the
United State Volleyball Association in 1983.

Condon's achievements transcended her playing career as she went
on to a successful coaching career as well. Following two years as
the Head Coach of California State University Bakersfield, she took
over the reigns at Texas A&M University and in six years, led
the Aggies to three NCAA tournament appearances and coached the
squad to a 180-101 mark for a .641 winning percentage. The year
prior to her arrival, Texas A&M, posted an 18-21 mark and two
years later, Condon led the squad to a 40-16 record and a ninth
place national finish in 1981. She still holds the Aggies' coaching
standard for highest winning percentage in a single-season with her
33-4 (.892) mark for the 1984 campaign.

Following her coaching career, she returned to her alma mater as
an Associate Athletic Director for UCLA from 1986-1994 and received
three Achievement Awards. She remained in Athletic Administration
when she became a Senior Associate Athletic Director at
Northeastern University in Boston in 1994 and remained with the
Huskies until 1998.

Condon's selection as UMass Boston Head Women's Volleyball Coach
is in addition to a position that she already holds, as she was
named the Senior Associate Athletic Director for the school in
February of 2006. She is the Assistant Director of many area field
hockey camps and also works for a tax preparation
business.

Highly respected for her contributions to women's athletics,
Condon was inducted into the New Agenda: Northeast Women's Hall of
Fame last year to recognize her coaching and teaching
accomplishments within the community and the college
arena.

Condon graduated from UCLA in 1977 with a Bachelor of Science
degree in kinesiology and currently resides in Rowley, MA.
